Need opinions...big pics
4 Attachment(s)
Had my H&R Sport Springs and MM C/C plates installed yesterday. The front of the car just doesn't look right to me. Maybe the front will settle a little bit more. The back of the car looks great. So, either I f'd up when I bought the 255/45 R17 KDW NTs, or I need to get different front springs or do a coil-over conversion. Let me know what ya'll think, even if you think I'm just being a little to critical.

Hard to tell at night. Hopefully it'll settle more.
AHHHHHHHH I cant look at those clear corner's with the ambur bulbs! lol, get the chrome plated turn signal bulbs, PLEASE |
it will settle. it took about 2 weeks for my springs to settle.

Same thing happened to me. Hopefully yours will settle to your liking. I waited about a year for mine to settle before selling my front H&R Sports and replacing them with the Super Sports. That did the trick for me. Hated that speed boat look!

well...the coils could be placed in the wrong direction which would give it that stance...did you install them? anyway...they coils on the bottom are supposed to be in a special way
|
Give them a chance to settle, you could also try taking the isolators off the springs. To be honest, I think it's just the change that's throwing you off though. When I first put H&R SS's on my car after having it be the stock height, I hated it at first because it just didn't look "right" to me. But now I love it.

the back looks right but that front does seem a bit high, I had the same springs with 17s all around and i didn't have a gap that big. Like everyone said, make sure the springs were installed facing the right way. that last coil has to face inward. Id take the isolators off too.
|
The front does look a bit high, I would check to see if the springs are seated correctly and according to how H&R says they should be.
|
ok heres what ya gots ta do!
now... reckin ya gotta get a matress out yer bedroom... place matress on hood... call out the kidlins and tell em that they can jump on the bed... reckin that'd work mighty fine good sir |
Lmao.
Greg you aren't southern damnit. =p But anyways, like everyone else said, see if the springs settle, and also check if they are on correctly.. remember, shops do screw up.. My friend had a problem with this on his Mach when he had his springs installed, except he's a bonehead, and just said "thats the way its susposed to be" ....i then had to break it to him that he didn't know how to shift... =x |
Love the car, front def doesn't look right. Is it me or does your front fender look to be a slightly different color? Is it the lighting?
|
It's either you or the lighting. Looks fine to me.

Its the lighting, I had my GT parked in front so I could use the headlights and also had the car port light on, just kinda funky looking. |
I'll be able to check the springs tomorrow when there's daylight, I've been getting home from work to late in the evening. I'm also off for the next 3 weeks, so hopefully if something is wrong, I'll be able to fix it.

Just give it a week or two to settle then if you dont like it, take out the isolator.

:Woot: Yeah, we had a good time, not one of us had ever done a spring install. Even though it took a whole weekend, we still got it done. |
